II enjoyed talking to BRIAN A. NELSON about the Book #3 in his Course of Empire Trilogy: THE GREAT UNMASKING.
Sometimes books come along just at the right time. For the past few months I’ve been trying to make sense of AI. It’s in the headlines, it’s on the news, yet I only had a vague idea about its capabilities. Brian Nelson, who has worked in the field, has made it relatively comprehensible in this techno-thriller that will keep you turning the pages. His writing is as vivid as it is imaginative. He manages to take a complex subject and use it to propel readers into a frightening scenario of the future. From the Kalahari Desert to Washington, DC, the story offers a plausible scenario of what might happen if humanity doesn’t learn quickly the limitations of an all consuming power.
As soon as I finished this book, I had to go back to the beginning and read the other two books in the series: The Last Sword Maker and Five Tribes.

Praise for The Great Unmaking
“In The Great Unmaking, Nelson crafts an adrenaline-charged, white-knuckle thriller that is sure to leave you breathless. Fans of Crichton, Rollins, and Crouch will love this superb and final installment of the Course of Empire series.”
— “Andrews & Wilson, Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of the Tier One series”
“Extraordinarily enjoyable, The Great Unmaking is the grand finale of Nelson’s epic adventure. It’s also hands down the most ingenious take on the apocalypse narrative that I have ever read. This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller.”
— “Moisés Naím, author and contributing editor to The Atlantic”
“So clearly and forcefully presented that readers will find it hard to put the book down. Nelson has outdone himself.”
— “Publishers Weekly (starred review)”
“I came to The Great Unmaking as a fresh reader. Three hundred fifty pulse-pounding pages later, I closed the book, thoroughly convinced of Nelson’s mastery of a fever-pitch plot…Nelson’s series explores the lines between pastoral idealism and the inevitable gluttony and decay of human civilization…High-paced, plot-driven, and brimming with action…A thinking-person’s military techno-thriller…What’s not to love?”
— “Strand Magazine”

A very important book that helps to understand what happened to Venezuela.
What warning signs were ignored? How was the threat of Chavez not understood then. And what lies in the future for this once vital country?
